@maxeddy @thegibson i really love how much of a cultural touchstone Max Headroom has become.

Now look what you made me do.

1. Spend 90 minutes trying to construct a complex excel query.

2. Realize the data was already extracted and sorted elsewhere.

For reference, Cholla is a genus of cactus native to the desert southwest of the United States, and IMHO is the meanest plant in all of North America. It's needles are barbed to enter flesh and then break off. They're also coated in formic acid, the venom produced by fire ants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindropuntia

"Cholla-breath" medicated tea (For sore throats):

1. Yogi "Throat Comfort" tea, brewed for 7 minutes.

2. Store-brand cough drop, dissolved.

3. Juice of one half lemon.

4. 1 to 2 Tbsp unpasteurized honey.

5. 1.5 oz (50ml) "Barenjagar" honey liquor, or sub brandy if need be.

6. Sit on the couch, watch YouTube, feel wretchedly sorry for yourself.

For reference.

I knew that they differed widely in their interpretations of the chemical bonding in the com-pound, so I rearranged the program to put the two papers back to back, in the hope of starting a fight. No luck, though — they were both too polite. Too bad."

Lucky me, I get to follow this choad-warrior into work this morning.

Ugh, this day.

"Again? With the photos, again? Oy!"

I noticed a new tattoo parlor going into my neighborhood called Kool Kids tattoo, and observe two things:
1. I support teenagers getting tattoos before they go into high school in order to make a good impression on their class, and
2.despite owning several tattoos already I am both too old and to uncool to get a tattoo from Kool Kids tattoo.

Joe Dirt, but like, on a lot of Absinthe.

Hot take. Andrew Eldritch is just the southern fried version of Lou Reed.

Me: Do I need to pack cutlery with lunches today?
